Well, I am not surprised, I wrote the exporter without looking at any 
specifications, just what I could figure out from looking at the 
icalendar files produced by Apples iCal program.  The I tweaked the 
output until iCal would read that file.  If there is anyone knowing 
more about the icalendar format, it would be great to improve this.
Of course, I can simply say VERSION: 1.0.....
